Private London Walks

“I’ve been making videos for 10 years all around the world but there’s nothing I love more than showing visitors all my favourite bars and hidden secrets. Click on a videoand learn something you didn’t know about this amazing city! Or click a map location for a video about that place.” – Julian McDonnell

Follow Joolz as he takes you down dark alleys where Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare drank flagons of ale and introduces you to wonderful characters like the man who paints chewing gum on the streets and the man who roasts coffee beans all day. See an opera break out in a pub or where the first tuxedo was made. Enjoy the best sausage roll in London before seeing where William Wallace was executed and where you could sell your wife!
Ghosts in ancient underground prison cells, the first family to import Chianti into Britain and why there’s a nose poking out of the wall in Soho!

Where to eat, which tube ticket to buy and where to play a round of golf without being a member of a stuffy club.

All this and more in a series of short, charming and quirky 2 minute videos presented by an award-winning tourism film maker who loves to show people around his home town and talk to strangers, with a soundtrack by authentic London buskers and street musicians, Joolz Guides are family friendly, educational, humorous and free!
